Fostering Innovation: Lots of Little Fires or One Inferno?

Complete post

Little fires become big fires because they burn areas that are dry and ready to ignite. In the same way, letting employees hold their own conversations is a great way to find those patches of dry tinder that are ready for your idea. Some conversations will snuff out due to lack of good kindling. But other conversations will grow as the sparks from the originating fire find lots of wood to burn.

I love the idea of ideas (or memes) propagating just like fire, it’s so neat and visual.
